Indicators of abuse
Most cases of child abuse are not identified based on a single event or indicator. Indicators usually occur in clusters but the absence of indicators does not exclude the possibility that abuse is occurring.
The following indicators may lead to a concern that a child is being subjected to abuse. Indicators should be considered in the context of the child’s age, capabilities, medical and developmental history.
